On nodal Enriques surfaces and quartic double solids

We consider the class of singular double coverings $X \to \PP^3$ ramified in the degeneration locus $D$ of a family of 2-dimensional quadrics. These are precisely the quartic double solids constructed by Artin and Mumford as examples of unirational but nonrational conic bundles. With such quartic surface $D$ one can associate an Enriques surface $S$ which is the factor of the blowup of $D$ by a natural involution acting without fixed points (such Enriques surfaces are known as nodal Enriques surfaces or Reye congruences). We show that the nontrivial part of the derived category of coherent sheaves on this Enriques surface $S$ is equivalent to the nontrivial part of the derived category of a minimal resolution of singularities of $X$.

Rank Two Sheaves on K3 Surfaces: A Special Construction

Let X be a K3 surface of degree 8 in P^5 with hyperplane section H. We associate to it another K3 surface M which is a double cover of P^2 ramified on a sextic curve C. In the generic case when X is smooth and a complete intersection of three quadrics, there is a natural correspondence between M and the moduli space M' of rank two vector bundles on X with Chern classes c_1=H and c_2=4. We build on previous work of Mukai and others, giving conditions and examples where M' is fine, compact, non-empty; and birational or isomorphic to M. We also present an explicit calculation of the Fourier-Mukai transform when X contains a line and has Picard number two.

Noncrossing partitions and representations of quivers

We situate the noncrossing partitions associated to a finite Coxeter group within the context of the representation theory of quivers. We describe Reading's bijection between noncrossing partitions and clusters in this context, and show that it extends to the extended Dynkin case. Our setup also yields a new proof that the noncrossing partitions associated to a finite Coxeter group form a lattice. We also prove some new results within the theory of quiver representations. We show that the finitely generated, exact abelian, and extension-closed subcategories of the representations of a quiver $Q$ without oriented cycles are in natural bijection with the cluster-tilting objects in the associated cluster category. We also show these subcategories are exactly the finitely generated categories that can be obtained as the semistable objects with respect to some stability condition.
